The Past and Future of Ventilating Dwellings: Using ASHRAE 62.2-2013Instructor: Rick KargAfter a brief intro to ventilation, the BPI Building Airflow Standard (based on ASHRAE 62-1989) and ASHRAE 62.2-2010 will be addressed, giving historical context for the latest ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2013. The 3 versions will be compared, however, the major focus will be on 62.2-2013.

Mechanical Ventilation and ASHRAE 62.2-2013 Instructor: Paul RaymerAs homes become increasingly tight, mechanical ventilation increases in importance. National building codes, standards and programs are requiring the design, installation, testing, and documentation of ventilation systems. Participants in this course will come away with a better understanding of the science behind and mechanical ventilation technologies. Topics will include using the latest ASHRAE 62.2 Standard for sizing the systems for the right airflow for whole house and local ventilation, use of the infiltration credit, selecting the system, differences between ERVs and HRVs, use of controls, and installed system testing and documentation.Click HERE for the slides, Click HERE for a video recording.Building Multifamily the Right Way: A Case Study

Instructor: Corbett LunsfordView a recording after signing up for Corbett's training portal HERE

A multifamily building project costs tens of millions of dollars and dozens of professionals- and it can still be a very messy process! Learn about the typical mistakes in large residential buildings, and how they are solved, through a case study of an 80-unit building project in Illinois- the first in the state to go through ENERGY STAR Multifamily High Rise Certification!

Ever met a home that refused to be fixed? Home performance problems often masquerade as HVAC problems, and the same old 'tried and true' HVAC improvements may not help at all now that air sealing and insulation have become prevalent. Investigate three cases where Home Performance Diagnostics author Corbett Lunsford was hired by an HVAC company to solve strange problems, and learn how you can use whole-home performance testing to solve your clients' pain all by yourself!

Are you interested in learning more about "Home Performance" to understand how your HVAC customers—and your business—would benefit from a more comprehensive approach to heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning? This session provides HVAC contractors an overview of the enormous opportunity the exists in incorporating home performance into an HVAC company, and share key concepts to help you evaluate if home performance is the right next step to grow your business.
